Most of you know that AMD is trying to save power and space by releasing the Micro-ITX platform. VIA has decided that they want in on this market, and so they went and made their own little thing. And when I say little, I mean little. Measuring in at barely 100mm x 72mm (full ATX is 1200mm x 960mm), VIA's new motherboard comes with onboard network, processor, graphics, and is completely fanless. Just like AMD, VIA is trying to make a platform that not only is extremely tiny, but power-efficient. Have a look.

ummm WOW. what happened to laptops being small? you're talking about a "ultra-portable laptop" in a PDA motherboard size, that's craziness. I really do think that this'll be something that ends up in PDA's though, or maybe at school/work they'll have docking stations and you just drop in your pico-itx and start working.

Casemodders wet their pants You can build like a computer inside a CD-drive, plenty room left for a laptop hdd. Or slap it on the backside of an LCD, hook it up to the VGA in and you can still use your desktop PC for DVI. 2 computers in one with just press of a button (to change input signal). Now where is that lottery win, so I can try those out xD

But, where does the memory go? And how do you plug in a mouse and keyboard? Obviously, I have never used one of these. But, the possibilities are endless. Go spend $10 on a set of Legos, and build your own case.

memory probably under the board. and there are cables that you plug into the headers to get keyboard and all...

btw...the cpu aint the big chip in the middle, its the smaller chip on the left...

Mant they should at least have a pcie port made into a SATA-like connector, with one end being small and the other being the standard PCI-E port... then you can have an external GPU. But holy shit thats tiny...
